    The University of Cornell did a study showing that bread can be fed to cattle, stating that bread is more digestible than corn, because bread is already processed.
    See the study results: Studies show bread in diet is good for cattle

    "The Backwoods Home Magazine" states, in an article, that feeding bread is safe, if done in small amounts in the beginning, to avoid bloating and diarrhea.
    Here is their article: Ask Jackie Online by Jackie Clay Published 060805

    Bread can also be fed, in conjunction with other items, as a drought feeding strategy. See the article from a Cooperative Extension Service in S.C. -
